Academic Scientists at Work
Autor Jeremy Boss, Susan Eckerten Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 mai 2006
Sursa datelor care fundamentează acest volum provine din experiența directă de mentorat și management academic, fiind consolidată prin articole de specialitate publicate în Science's Next Wave. Ediția a doua a lucrării Academic Scientists at Work reprezintă un ghid clinic și pragmatic pentru cercetătorul aflat în etapa de tranziție de la stadiul postdoctoral spre cel de profesor titular. Suntem de părere că rigoarea cu care autorii Jeremy Boss și Susan Eckert abordează „regulile jocului academic” transformă această resursă într-un instrument esențial de planificare a carierei.
Structura volumului urmărește o progresie logică, de la „Linia de start” (căutarea și obținerea postului ideal) până la „Linia de sosire” (procesul de promovare și tenure). Găsim în această carte o analiză detaliată a celor trei piloni fundamentali: bursa de cercetare (Scholarship), activitatea didactică (Teaching) și serviciul în folosul comunității academice (Service). Un element distinctiv îl constituie includerea unor șabloane și fișe de lucru concepute pentru a ghida cititorul pas cu pas în organizarea laboratorului sau în scrierea cererilor de finanțare.
Acest manual de referință este comparabil cu How to Succeed as a Scientist de Barbara J. Gabrys, însă se diferențiază prin accentul pus pe sistemul nord-american de tenure și prin integrarea resurselor practice de tip „Daily Double”. De asemenea, spre deosebire de The Associate Professor Guidebook de Laura Weiss Roberts, care se concentrează pe provocările ulterioare promovării, volumul de față acoperă minuțios întreaga perioadă de probă a asistentului universitar. Tonul este precis, eliminând ambiguitățile administrative și oferind o perspectivă clară asupra modului în care este evaluată performanța științifică în mediul academic contemporan.

Cuprins
Recenzii
"Overall the advice in the book is excellent and adequately covers the three major areas of running the lab: people, money, and science. It is difficult to find glaring omissions on any of the topics that are covered. The book starts with a discussion of how to obtain a job. Sources to fiind job openings are outlined, and there are instructions on writing the key documents: a CV, a research proposal, and a cover letter. Many questions that postdoctoral fellows have when they enter the job market are answered in this chapter."

"Assuming that the more you know about a task the better you are likely to perform it then this book should be studied in depth by every aspiring academic scientist. However, they would also benefit just from browsing through this book. It is packed with useful tips on how to solve problems that few rookie academic scientists will have imagined but most will encounter. Its humorous style makes the book easy to read but its lessons can prevent serious problems. On a first causal reading the rookie scientist will find this book amusing and informative. However, the book will become even more valuable as they reread it again in subsequent years when they encounter the inevitable hurdles that arise to block their path to success."
- Charles P. Moran, Jr., Professor of Microbiology at Emory University
"Drs. Boss and Eckert write an exceptionally useful book for all who consider and enter academic scientific careers. I wish I had this book when I began; it contains all the secrets for success. The book is well written and a highly enjoyable read being both funny yet serious. As a chairman, I am going to get this book for all my junior faculty."
- Stephen T. Warren, PhD, FACMG, William Patterson Timmie Professor of Human Genetics, Chairman of the Department of Human Genetics, Emory University School of Medicine
Advance Praise for the 2ndEdition:
"As a young faculty member, I have found much of the advice to be well conceived, insightful, and effective. I anticipate that I will continue to consult this work as I my career advances and I encounter new challenges and overcome new obstacles. "
- Ingrid K. Ruf. Ph.D., Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, University of California, Irvine
"Altogether this remains an essential resource for postdocs and junior faculty as well as for those senior level faculty and administrators who are charged with responsibility to provide career and professional skills guidance to the next generation of academic scientists."
- Susan Rich, Ph.D., Associate Dean for Life Sciences, The Graduate School, University of Alabama at Birmingham
"As the authors point out, academic career development is too often left undiscussed between mentor and mentee, sometimes with dire consequences. This book is both a rescue plan for such individuals, and a superb career development manual for the rest of us."
- Dr. Martin E. Feder, Department of Organismal Biology & Anatomy, The University of Chicago
